Love, love is a verb 
Love is a doing word 
Fearless on my breath 
Gentle impulsion 
Shakes me makes me lighter 
Fearless on my breath 

Teardrop on the fire 
Fearless on my breath 

Nine night of matter 
Black flowers blossom 
Fearless on my breath 
Black flowers blossom 
Fearless on my breath 

Teardrop on the fire 
Fearless on my breath 

Water is my eye 
Most faithful mirror 
Fearless on my breath 
Teardrop on the fire of a confession 
Fearless on my breath 
Most faithful mirror 
Fearless on my breath 

Teardrop on the fire 
Fearless on my breath 

Stumbling a little 
Stumbling a little
